Mathematics stack exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. For any, then is a neighborhood of not intersecting. If is countably infinite or larger, the finite complement topology gives a standard example of a space that is not hausdorff each open set must contain all but finitely many points, so any two open sets must intersect.
